Frequently Asked Questions
PRODUCT
A: The skin produces melanin through melanocytes as a defense mechanism against UV rays. When melanin is produced excessively in certain areas, it can lead to hyperpigmentation.
A: Post-acne pigmentation, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), results from inflammation that triggers excess melanin production. This pigmentation can persist even after the acne has healed.
A: Post-acne pigmentation (PIH) can be treated effectively with the Everlasting Clean and Brightening Ampoule.
In contrast, acne scars are structural issues that occur during the skin's healing process and require consultation with a skilled dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
A: No, it cannot.
UV exposure can lead to further pigmentation, which may reduce the effectiveness of Helichrysum. We recommend using sunscreen during the day for optimal protection.
A: Always apply sunscreen, even on cloudy days, and reapply every two hours or after extended sun exposure for the best results.
A: Yes, our products are suitable for sensitive skin.
However, we recommend starting with a small amount to gauge tolerance.
A: Hormonal changes can increase skin pigmentation.
Birth control pills may stimulate melanocytes due to their hormone content, potentially leading to increased melasma or dark spots.
A: Results vary by individual and the type of pigmentation. Some users may notice improvements within seven days, while others may see results after using a full bottle.
